M:PT - May 16

Trying to appear calm and collected even though my carpool partner called moments before I took this picture, as I was mid-eyelash-curl, to say that he was "a little bit early" and sitting in my driveway. We said 7:35-7:40! It was 7:33! Dude, you are killing me.
Jacket: H&M

Despite its strange plummy appearance, here, the jacket is actually a dark pewter, gunmetal color. Maybe my lamp's light is too yellow or something.
3/4-sleeve boatneck shirt: Ann Taylor

If memory serves, this top was marked down to something like $12.99 (originally $24.99, which is ridic), but when I put it in my shopping bag, it magically reduced to $7.99! Score.
Pants: NY & Co.
Paisley flats: Ann Taylor Loft
Look! A print with blue and green! Reward, please!
Pearl drop earrings: a gift from JG
Also known as my wedding earrings
I was just gonna say: OMG pattern!

As I type this, I have shed the jacket and am sporting a white (faux?) pashmina (H&M) a la Laurel.

Tonight, JG and I are heading back to our alma mater to catch our favorite a capella group's spring concert, and I plan to swap out the slacks for jeans and be good to go. I am debating bringing the orange bag. Thoughts?

Can I just say how much I love the color of your walls? It's the most gorgeous blue ever.

You look fab too!

Since the jacket is a gray color, I would say the orange bag would be a perfect accent peice. I want to see these shoes up close!

Dang you and these NY&Co pants. (Lerner to me)

NWW: The paint is Teal Bayou, by Behr. It's a little dark for most people, but I love it. It makes our basement-y bedroom very cozy.

HftF: Click the link in the note to see the shoes up close!

So jealous of the shoes. They are adorable, and your print/solid matching is coming along very nicely!

I didn't write this in my comment to your blog post, but another great thing about the pool is that I feel that I am in good company with people who generally know what they paid for every item of clothing and love to hunt down sale items!

Those shoes, as everyone has mentioned, are amazing! And hooray for the faux pashminas!

Ditto Laurel's comment. Why do I know the original price and the price I paid for everything I own? At least I"m not the only one!

I love those flats! Way to get over your fear of prints with multiple colors. It looks great. I think the orange back would be great, but the green bag might be even better? Decision, decisions.

Also, Dear Carpool Man: CALLING FROM THE DRIVEWAY IS NOT OK. Neither is being early for pickup. EVER.

OPH: I contemplated the green bag, but the biggest thing I need to carry tonight is a CD, so that one might be overkill. Plus, it does not have a zip closure and it is rainy in these parts... And, yeah, I felt so guilty about making my carpool partner wait. Blah.

I vote for the orange bag! Also - those shoes rock. As does gunmetal gray.
